The Canadian baritone, Benjamin (Ben) Mallory, started his musical career at Christ Church Cathedral Ottawa as a boy In the men and boys’ choir, and has sung in many musical ensembles throughout high school. He is currently in three choirs. CCC men and boys’ choir, the Southminster Church choir and Caelis Academy Ensemble (where, as a founding member he started as a treble and graduated to the bass section). He writes, “This is my first time singing the St john passion as a bass. I've sang it once as a treble at CCC again under the direction of Matthew Larkin. I'm very fond of Bach's music and it's always a wonderful privilege to perform any works by the great Master. The St John passion is a Masterful piece of music filled with lots of rich counterpoint and harmonies. The story of the passion is one of suffering and ultimately death. The first time I sang it was a very emotional and intense experience and it was again this time. Music has done so much for my life. It's given me community support, happiness, integrity and confidence. I am now inseparable from music I can't go a day without playing or singing if not I would go crazy. When I'm not singing, I'm composing music and playing the piano. I consider the piano as one of my main instruments. I hope to attend Carleton University in the fall for musical performance and composition.” |
